Swim Stroke Development Program
Swimming Harder Can Make You Slower.
Swimming Better Makes You Faster!
Building on the success of last winter’s Intro to Triathlon Swimming Program, Triathlon Manitoba will offer these new sessions designed for triathletes keen to improve their efficiency and performance at the start of every triathlon event.
Coached sessions will take place once-a-week on Monday evenings, from 8-9pm at the Pan Am Pool (in parallel with our regular Swim Program). Athletes will be given a second workout to do on their own each week, to reinforce the coached lessons and achieve the desired progression throughout the program.
Athletes will receive on-deck training from experienced coaches Christine McKinley and Patrick Peacock. Sessions will run for 9 weeks from October 21st to December 16th (Nov 11 will not have a coached swim due to the holiday). The program will also include video capture sessions, allowing athletes to have direct feedback on stroke mechanics and improvements made throughout the program.
Target Audience:
– Athletes with prior experience of triathlon swimming / racing, likely those who learned to swim as adults and looking to gain efficiency in their swimming
(our Intro to Triathlon Swimming will run again in Jan-Mar 2025 for newbies)
(if you don’t already have a pair, our coaches recommend this shorter style)
Registration space is limited.
November 2024
2025 Kids of Steel Fall & Winter Program
Train like a Triathlete Year-Round!
Our Kids Fall & Winter Program runs November to April, providing young athletes with the opportunity to participate in sport specific workouts led by great coaches.
The program is targeted at youth 8 – 15 years of age (Birth years 2010 – 2018) to develop fitness and strength for all three sports.
Saturday sessions are intended for all athletes, taking place at Pan Am Pool from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Starting with a run fitness workout before moving to the pool for swim training.
Registration for Saturday-only sessions is $160 for six months.
Annika Niblock and Darian Hole will continue as our program coaches.
Darian is a former MTC athlete, having competed as part of Team Manitoba at the 2013 Canada Summer Games, and he brings a wealth of experience from his years in the sport. Annika is a graduate of the TriMB Youth & MTC Programs, competed in triathlon at the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games and is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Studies at U of M.
Our coaches are keen to help a next generation of athletes fall in love with triathlon by sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for our sport.
NOTE – While this program will help athletes develop better swim technique, it’s not intended to be a learn-to-swim program. All athletes should be able to comfortably complete 100m of steady swimming (enough to access the deep end in most local pools) before beginning the program.
A 2025 Triathlon Season membership must be purchased with each Kids Program Registration, which provides insurance for all workout participants, as well as a racing licence for the season ahead. The Kids of Steel memberships are $10, plus CCN processing fees.
The video below gives a great idea of what to expect at our Kids Programs.
January 2025
Intro to Triathlon Swimming
Back for another year, our Intro to Triathlon Swim program is designed to get athlete’s on the start line for their first Triathlon event.
This 10-week program is designed to build form, fitness and confidence – taking athletes from bobbing to propelling. At the end of the 10 weeks, each athlete should be ready to graduate their training to the standard TriMB Swim Program or another Masters swim program.
Program workouts will take place Monday and Wednesday evenings, from 8:00 – 9:00 pm. Workouts run from Monday, January 13 to Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
Program spaces are limited to only 15 swimmers – to ensure that each athlete has lots of support from our coaching staff.
NOTE – Our number one question from athletes about this program is what is the pre-requisite swim level??
This program is not intended as a ‘learn to swim’ program. All swimmers should be able to swim 100m without stopping before starting the program. Put another way – you should be able to pass the test to enter the deep end at any public pool. That doesn’t need to be a beautiful freestyle swim stroke (that’s where the program coaches can help), but our coaches are meant to be there helping you improve your form and efficiency, not to rescue anyone.
Note – Admission to the pool is included in the registration.
Kids Duathlon Days 1
Pan Am Pool is closed for a swim meet, so let’s have some Duathlon Fun!
Our Kids Program heads to the Exchange District on January 25th, trading run/swim for bike/run workouts to make the most of a day without pool access. The bigger venue means we have space for more kids too, so if you’re keen to try multisport training, this is a great chance to try it out.
The event will include warm-ups, races and challenges all focused on biking and running. We’ll use the indoor track and spin bikes available at the Sport Manitoba Fitness Centre.
NOTE – Minimum saddle height for the bikes is 680mm from top of saddle to the pedal at its low point
REGISTRATION WILL OPEN SHORTLY
This workout will take place at the Sport MB Fitness Centre, at 145 Pacific Avenue, which has indoor parking at the facility. Registrants are asked to check-in between 5:30 and 5:45 pm, to give time to organize and change, with our event starting at 6:00 pm.
